About the U.S. Political & Legal History Database

Dive into the unique stories and fascinating histories that have shaped each of America’s 50 states from the nation’s beginnings to today with the U.S. Political & Legal History database! This collection gives users an array of titles tailored to each specific state’s history and development, presenting an eclectic and colorful view into a single state’s legal, historical, social, geographic, and economic makeup through historical and current texts. All titles are browsable to the state level, easily allowing researchers to travel from coast to coast with content tailored to each state’s unique history.

  • Read contemporary accounts on Leo Frank’s trial and conviction, including one published in the state of Georgia.
  • Or, jet to sunny California and read a history of the prohibition movement in the Golden State.
  • Drill into casebooks on Texas’ oil and gas industry.
  • Or, read tracts and speeches circulated by abolitionist organizations in antebellum Massachusetts.

Content within each collection is as unique and distinct as the state it represents, while also paying homage to the regional and historical ties that have bound certain states together; for example, find the works of early 20th century historian Herbert L. Osgood on colonial America within each of the states representing the original thirteen colonies.

This database will continue to grow as new content is added, offering a rounded look into each state from its prestatehood beginnings to the present day.
